What Is 3D Generated Content?

Officially, 3D generated content refers to computer-generated imagery (CGI) that is created using specialized software to produce three-dimensional visuals. It involves constructing virtual 3D models of objects or scenes and rendering them to create realistic and immersive imagery. To us at imagine.io, 3D content is the stunning visual imagery we produce for countless brands that engage their customers and drive sales. Our 3D generated content can be used throughout your visual content strategy, on different platforms, including in advertising, email, social media, eCommerce, and more, to bring products to life and showcase them in a visually engaging manner.

Investing in 3D technology offers a wide array of benefits. At the top of that list is the cost and time savings associated with creating your brand imagery with 3D. Compared to photography and CGI, a 3D content creation platform like imagine.io can offer time-savings of 70% and the opportunity to save 80% of the costs. Once your product is modeled in 3D, it can be easily reused or modified for different purposes without the need for reshoots or complex setups, and placed throughout our hundreds of lifestyle scenes. With 75% of online shoppers relying on product photos when deciding on a potential purchase, it makes sense to focus on creating stunning imagery that engages audiences and drives sales.

3D content can also be easily customized, allowing for quick changes in colors, materials, textures, lighting, and perspectives. Brands can experiment with different variations and tailor visuals to specific target audiences, while maintaining consistency across platforms and channels, strengthening their visual identity

3D generated content can be used to create interactive experiences, such as augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) applications, allowing customers to engage with products in a more immersive way.

Overall, 3D generated content provides a powerful tool for brands to enhance their visual storytelling, improve customer engagement, and efficiently showcase products or concepts with unprecedented realism and creativity.
